Chapter 1243 Investigation
At that time, Zhou Xu was meditating in the carriage.
After all, there is still about half a month before officially arriving at the border of the Saint Laurent Empire. The total journey time of two months is already quite long. He doesn't want to keep the power of mantra in his body without using it all the way. That would be a bit of a waste of time.
At the same time, don't forget that there is natural energy along the way.
The natural energy in his territory was retained, on the one hand to take into account the ecological environment of their own territory, and on the other hand as a reserve energy for emergencies.
People always treat their own things with more care, but Zhou Xu doesn’t have so many concerns about the natural energy outside.
He could study the mantra first, consume 20 to 30 percent of his own strength, and then quickly restore it by absorbing natural energy.
More importantly, their team is always on the move. After absorbing the energy here, they quickly move to the next area. There is no such thing as them desperately grabbing one area. Generally speaking, it is not too excessive.
To be honest, this would be a perfect model if he didn't have so much free time to travel around the world on weekdays.
Zhou Xu had just finished a round of meditation and was about to go out to communicate with Qiansui when Li Ce came over on horseback.
"I will pay my respects to your majesty!"
"No need to be polite, come in."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, waved his hand, motioning Li Ce to come in and talk.
Normally, Li Ce would not come to find him during the march. The fact that he came to find him now must mean something has happened.
After getting into the carriage, Li Ce did not hesitate to tell Zhou Xu about the Giant Eagle Knight's discovery and his own speculation.
"The key point now is whether there are large-scale troops hiding in the forest on the other side!"
If they are not hiding, it means that the other party is playing a trick, deliberately letting the Goblin Wolf Cavalry outside to attract attention, and leaving a large area of woodland to make people suspicious and dare not advance easily. To put it bluntly, they are just delaying time.
On the other hand, if they hid, it would mean that the greenskins' target might have shifted from the Saint Laurent Empire to them!
These greenskins noticed their reinforcements and planned to destroy them first and then turn around to deal with the Saint Laurent Empire.
Of course, we have to find out what is going on. This is also the purpose of Li Ce coming to find Zhou Xu.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Xu quickly made arrangements.
After receiving the order, a Giant Eagle Knight bypassed the Goblin Wolf Riders' warning area and brought Sion to the vicinity of the woods as quickly as possible.
"This is the limit. If you get any closer you will be discovered."
"Lower your altitude and leave the rest to me."
At the moment when the Giant Eagle Rider lowered his flying altitude, Sion chanted the mantra and leaped forward.
During the falling process, his body transformed into an agile black panther, maintaining the graceful diving movements. The moment he touched the ground, he seemed to dissolve in the water and sank silently into the shadow of the ground.
It was Sion in his 'Polymorph' form, Shadow Panther's mantra 'Shadow Stealth!'
Compared to when he just broke through and was only at Bronze One Star, Sion's strength has now reached Bronze Three Stars.
The substantial increase in the power of the mantra has made Sion's actions more flexible and greatly increased his operational ceiling.
Maintaining the 'Shadow Stealth' state, he moved at an astonishing speed and sneaked into the woods in the blink of an eye.
The shadowy woodland was simply his comfort zone, making his entire movement as smooth as flowing water without any hindrance.
The whole process went more smoothly than Saien had expected. He sneaked into the woods, and before he went too deep, he discovered a large number of greenskins!
[There really is an ambush in this woodland! ]
This discovery made Sean feel nervous, but he did not leave. Instead, he hid in the dark and observed, trying to collect more information.
Scanning his eyes and making simple observations, Sion quickly realized that the number of greenskins hiding in this woodland should not be underestimated.
The outer area alone is already packed with greenskins. Assuming that this forest is full of greenskins, there must be at least tens of thousands of greenskins lying in ambush here.
When he thought of this, Sean's mood suddenly became solemn.
And just at this moment, a figure entered his sight.
The moment he spotted the other person, Sean's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could think about it, the figure suddenly turned around and looked over here!
"What's wrong?"
Faced with the question, Blood Hand King ignored it, turned around and pushed away the greenskin who was blocking his way, then walked towards the place that made him feel strange, and finally walked under the shadow of a big tree.
Standing there, Blood Hand King's eyes kept scanning back and forth between the big tree in front of him and the shadow below, and then without any warning, he sank a claw into the land covered with shadows.
"WAAAAGH! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"
The green-skinned man following behind him cursed in a somewhat inexplicable way.
He was a general under the Greenskin Emperor, whose strength had also reached the peak of the Vajra Realm and was not inferior to him at all.
Blood Hand King, who knew this in his heart, was not angry, but just said with a sullen face...
"I felt like someone was watching me just now."
As he spoke, Blood Hand King pulled out his arm that was almost half buried in the ground, and then casually shook off the dirt on his arm armor.
【Is it an illusion?】
Blood Hand King frowned and looked again at the place where his arm was pulled out. The soil had been turned out and there was nothing underneath.
Little did he know that in the shadows beside him, Sion was already scared out of his wits and broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to even look at Blood Hand King any more.
[I was noticed just by looking at him. How terrifying. Is this a warrior at the Vajra Realm level? ]
When supporting the Smith Kingdom before, Sion was accompanying as a member of the Royal Guards, so he had seen the two Vajra Realm powerhouses of the Blood Hand Clan from afar.
Although most greenskins looked similar to other races, the pair of alloy claws wrapped around Blood Hand King's arms were too conspicuous, allowing Sion to recognize him at a glance.
As a result, the following events happened.
You know, Sean originally thought that he would never be discovered while hiding in the shadows. Who would have thought that his situation was not as safe as he expected.
This made Sean dare not stay any longer. Anyway, the information he needed to confirm had been confirmed. He quickly found an opportunity and followed the shadow to leave the forest at the fastest speed...
